The heart of the biblical
understanding
of idolatry, argues Gregory Beale, is
that we take on the characteristics of
what we worship.
Employing Isaiah 6 as his interpretive
lens, Beale demonstrates that this
understanding of idolatry permeates the
whole canon, from Genesis to
Revelation. Beale concludes with an
application of the biblical notion of
idolatry to the challenges of
contemporary life.
